About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when the company owner utilises the assets they have to get a loan. The asset can be a personal asset like the family home, or an business property like a truck or piece of equipment.
The majority of banks, including the major banks, prefer to guarantee loans against assets. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, the asset could be taken over by the lender. In essence, it’s the process of securing new funding using the worth of the asset you already own.
Should I need security to secure a business loan?
For loans that exceed $150K, it is not necessary to secure assets upfront to access the money, however we do require an individual guarantee. As long as you follow your loan commitments (as stipulated in the loan contract) the security of assets will never be needed. For loans over $150,000 typically, you will need personal ensure and security in the form of an asset charge.
